Universal Media Server is a DLNA-compliant UPnP Media Server. It was originally based on PS3 Media Server by shagrath. UMS was started by SubJunk, an official developer of PMS, in order to ensure greater stability and file-compatibility. Universal Media Server supports all major operating systems, with versions for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. The program streams or transcodes video, audio and image formats with little or no configuration. It is powered by FFmpeg, MEncoder, tsMuxeR, MediaInfo and more, which combine to offer support for a wide range of media formats. NOTE! Early Releases requires a Patreon subscription.

14.13.0 Patreon
Summary
In this release we have added support for Linkplay WiiM devices, improved LG TV support, added the ability for renderers to specify support for file muxing mode, fixed bugs and improved performance!
This is likely to be one of the last v14 releases. We are really focusing on v15 but also still working with you to fix bugs in v14.
The first v15 beta release will be out very soon, and if that goes well we can progress quickly to the first real v15 release. Thanks to everyone who has tried it so far, and we would love to get more feedback on it.
This release is available via our Patreon page, and will be available here when the next release happens.

We have added a user switcher with support for multiple logged-in users, a mode switcher to change between the two major areas: Player and Settings, pin code logins, dynamic TV season metadata, a file media info button, rewrites of our notification and realtime code, improved memory management, and a lot of other changes to improve usability and reduce the number of actions needed to do what you want.
